Latest News: Henry Cecil delivers his final winner
Henry Cecil, Racehorse trainer 11th Jun 2013
Sir Henry Cecil, 10 times flat racing champion horse trainer, has rewarded the DeathList punters for the final time by losing his battle with stomach cancer aged 70. Cecil had many highs and lows throughout his career. He trained eight winners of the Oaks and four Derby winners, but still found time to dabble with drink, drugs, a stable girl and a rather expensive “vice girl”. Towards the end of his life he trained his most highly rated horse, Frankel. Cecil was making his debut appearance of DeathList, drawn at number 22.
The DeathList 2013
The DeathList committee has completed its deliberations and finalised DeathList 2013. To recap, the list comprises the celebrities thought, in the opinion of the DeathList committee, most likely to pass away during 2013. The candidates must have a level of famousness such that their death is expected to be reported by the UK media, however their fame cannot be result purely from the fact they are likely to die shortly. The other main rule is that only a maximum of half the list can comprise of candidates on the previous year’s list. DeathList 2012 saw a return to form with a final score 12 dead, however the list had some notable misses. Some strong new candidates appear on the 2013 list, however, although he may float like a butterfly and sting like a bee, there’s no place on DeathList 2013 for Muhammad Ali!| Rank | Prev Year |
